“All Mixed Up” is a mode where microgames from every stage are shuffled together. In fact, “Challenges” might just be where you spend most of your time. And even once you’ve mastered all 300+ games, Challenge Mode offers many interesting new ways to play. Additionally, each microgame has 3 difficulty levels that can add some new twists. The ending of the story can be seen within just a couple hours, but by then you won’t have even seen every microgame. The plot itself is silly fun, and much improved by the voice acting in the cutscenes.
There may be a rare game that stumps you, but it’s possible to play an individual microgame repeatedly in the Index until it’s been mastered. The first time you see a new microgame is where the magic really happens and it’s the most exciting part of playing WarioWare. You get nothing but a simple prompt and a few elements on the screen, and it’s up to you to figure out exactly what needs to be done. With a few exceptions, each microgame is remarkably good at communicating to the player exactly what they need to do the first time you see the game. The sheer number of games across 3 control schemes provides plenty of variety. There are about 20 microgames per stage, with the grand total reaching over 300, the highest in the series.

In fact, nearly every character from the series gets their own stage in this game. Instead, Wario’s friends include the 4th-grader 9-Volt, the bowling pin-headed alien Orbulon, and Jimmy T. The WarioWare series takes place in Diamond City, not the Mushroom Kingdom, so don’t expect appearances from your standard Mario characters like Toad or Yoshi. The “main game” consists of a story mode wherein players must progress through 18 stages, each presented by a different character. Each previous entry in the series has been based around a new gimmick, and WarioWare Gold includes games across three distinct control schemes: Mash (buttons), Tilt, and Touch.
It’s a bit difficult to describe WarioWare to the uninitiated but I’ll do my best: the core gameplay consists of a rapid-fire stream of “microgames,” in which you have 5-10 seconds to figure out what to do based on a simple prompt. Enter WarioWare Gold, a mishmash of microgames from the series’ history, with some new games added for good measure.
And now, with the sun beginning to set on the glorious Nintendo 3DS, that time has come. The WarioWare series has been dormant for a long time, waiting for the right time to return.
